this came 6 ep overdue. While the subtle changes each time were amusing, I can't say that it was entirely enjoyable to go through all of them.

Speaking of homework, back to studying biochem. \o/

Need moar Endless Eight. Need moar yukata scenes. Need moar bikini scenes.

For all of you who were/are bitching about the arc, guess what, you got punk'd. The rest of us just sat back and enjoyed it, smiling at the arc and seeing you guys light your hair on fire.

Rule #1, if you didn't pay for it, you have nothing to complain about.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

I actually enjoyed it. Not saying it was amazing or genius, but it was interesting and funny.

Interesting because you rarely get to see so many ways one thing can be adapted. I've always wanted to see something like that. I can't emphasise how little we really get to see so many adaptions of the same thing enough. Nice to see how different people decide to do the same things. And it was funny because KyoAni really had guts to do something like this, and thinking about all the angry idiots was hilarious.

Anyone who got angry at E8 was just an irritable idiot who can't enjoy a good joke, or an interesting idea (or in this case, both). It was a once in a life time thing and I'm sad it's over (though I am looking forward to the rest of S2 as well). And that finale... god damn, that was amazing. Beautiful.

Oh and anyone who says the changes between each episode were 'minor' is wrong. The only thing the same in each episode was what the characters did. The direction, art, animation, voices, music, and everything else were redone every single episode.

[That, and anyone complains about every episode being Yuki-focused is a horrible, horrible person]

nicely done! amazingly detailed animation and even with the over and over again story, it is still fun to watch--as expected from the haruhi show
this has been a loooong wait till it is now over, and i guess I finally get what the producers are trying to hint us(the audience):

If you "dont do the homework" = "NO future"

(for those whose summer vacation just started: GO DO your homework now! stop wasting time like the noob Kyon did or there might be no future for the whole world...)

IT'S FINALLY OVER!!!

Kyon finally spits it out, after 8 eps... DX LOL@epic music in that scene

I wonder what the next ep is....

Now I wonder what they'll do with the DVD releases. It'd majorly suck if they have 2 disks of EE, which means you'd actually have to pay for them (like if you want to get the box set or something)

It will depend on the rest of the season AND if they put in season 1 as part of the package.

I was able to enjoy Endless Eight only from the moment when I decided that I,d have as little expectations as possible. How could that be positive? I mean, we,re supposed to expect great things from an anime like that.

This iteration is not my favorite but it's the one where the feelings expressed by the characters were showed the best. I guess that it's fitting that it's the last one.

I,m releived that it's finished now. Thou the experiement and the experience were interesting, the scenario will progress only in the next episodes and the wait for that was too long.

I just hope that no one in the industry will decide to do the same thing... jeez I bet that next year, some anime will do an endless loop... for some episodes, just to proove that it's fun and that they can do it.

When Haruhi said, that the cicadas might come back one day to return them favors, i guess they did.....(helped kyon breaking the loop, somehow)

After all, we must remember that, this is a world of Haruhi Suzumiya = every word Haruhi says, no matter how nonsense it sounds, it IS the truth! :-)

idiot fanboys overjoyed.

Well what the fuck did you expect ? Fanboys to be underjoyed ? Dumbass.

Anyone who got angry at E8 was just an irritable idiot who can't enjoy a good joke, or an interesting idea


Or maybe some of us didn't particularly appreciate having to wait 8 weeks to see the conclusion of a minor story. They should have finished Endless Eight in 3 episodes total so we could have got more new Haruhi.
With that said I somewhat enjoyed watching the 8 episodes because I knew each episode would be slightly different. (Different scenes, music, angles, etc).
I liked the music they played during the Arc (excellent choices), I liked seeing a lot of the activities they did,etc. Overall waiting 8 weeks to see the conclusion pissed me off but I'm still a die-hard Haruhi fan and I appreciate the individuality of each episode.(I also appreciate the fact that Haruhi is the only anime with 8 different episodes that portray more-or-less the same events.
Looking forward to a brand new episode next week. Cheers Haruhi fans.

But anyway, if EE is really bothering you, think of it this way. In the future, you can say you took part in the biggest scandal to rock the anime world. You're little Otaku grandchildren will be sitting on your knee as you recall the tale of the horrors of the biggest hiccup in anime history. And you can say that you were there.

I for one embrace every second of EE, so I can say in the future how I remembered every second of it. EE is pretty much the anime version of Hitler. Some liked him, many hated him, but EVERYONE will remember him.

I laughed at reading the first page of posts on this topic...

I'm sooooo glad Endless Eight is finally over...and I loved how Haruhi acted when Kyon decided they should do homework. That moment was priceless.

FUCK YES. IT'S OVER. IT'S FINALLY OVER. KYON DID HIS H/W AND STOPPED HER. OH YES. OH GOD YES.

...15,531 times worth? It BETTER be done for good. Then again that was 8 episodes...so it's done I'm sure.

I didn't really give two shits about the new outfits :/ It's pointless to be going "LOL OMG NEW SWIMSUITS AND KIMONO'S LOLOLOL." Seriously, so what? It's just another "fan service" troll by KyoAni.

I was crying and banging my head against the screen when Kyon actually, and FINALLY got up and was all "FUCK THIS SHIT. LET'S DO OUR HOMEWORK." Happy times.

...Btw...nice poker hand, Kyon. Very nice. That's the only reward you'll be getting since it took you 15,531 times to realize you should DO YOUR HOMEWORK...and stop Haruhi.

Oh and..I think Mikuru cried 10x as worse in this episode..like she KNEW it was finally going to be finished. Oh right..

For a second there, I thought it was going to go to a tenth episode. Unfortunately, I already knew the ending already because someone posted it in another thread w/o spoiler tags and I read it by mistake. >_<
So I didn't enjoy the ending that much. I was glad to see them finally back in the club room though.

that's assuming there'll be a disappearance arc

keep in mind that there are only three episodes left in this season, so unless it goes over into next season, we're stuck with whatever kyoani decides to put into those three episodes. somehow i doubt it'll be disappearance.

Who said there was only going to be only 12 episodes in this season?
